Question

Which has a higher boiling point oxygen or ethanol and why?

Answer 1

Ethanol and oxygen both have substantial vapor pressures, so both components contribute to the total pressure of the gas phase above the liquid in a closed container of the .... But that overlooks that fact that these liquids will have substantial vapor pressures at all temperatures, not only at their boiling points

Answer 2

Answer:

Ethanol has higher boiling point than oxygen

Explanation:

Ethanol has higher boiling point due to presence of strong attractive forces (hydrogen bonding).
